Is command orderhistory() work well when doing backtest?

Or must i test it on live rather than backtest?

Have a nice day

Hello, can someone explain to me what the backtest results mean.
On the pic attached you'll see DD, profit, trades, etc the same but can have VERY different Profit Factor results ??? Why would that be? 34 - 823 ??
Thanks

I solved the problem
delete everything and use the 1M for testing
